I strongly dislike parents like Alex from "Real Housewives of NYC" who think that their dc are smarter and more special than other children. They are raising selfish monsters. It serves her right that they embarrased her at bd party by misbehaving

        a) where were your children and b)I thought that for a second when I did a late night store run- why aren't all these kids in bed? it's almost 9! and then realized a lot of parents work and don't have the resources to do their shopping any other time.

        fine, but he made scenes, hit, cried and melted down WAY more DC I have ever seen in any class. Again, I used to tell DH about this poor kid and last night I realized who he was.

I strongly dislike parents like Alex from "Real Housewives of NYC" who think that their dc are smarter and more special than other children. They are raising selfish monsters. It serves her right that they embarrased her at bd party by misbehaving

I think there are a lot of parents like them.

all over UB, for sure.

Welcome to Brooklyn. I live in Cobble Hill, there are a million kids like that.

ita. i live there and hate that about it.

What is wrong with people? DH and I went to Grocery at 9pm a few weeks ago and someone was there with their kids!

I know. selfish, think they are cool.

a) where were your children and b)I thought that for a second when I did a late night store run- why aren't all these kids in bed? it's almost 9! and then realized a lot of parents work and don't have the resources to do their shopping any other time.

also, just realized Grocery is not a grocery store.

had a bad time there with DH. service & food was terrible.

with a sitter. not the same as an expensive-ish rest.

gotcha.

I can only say that their youngest, Johann, is already a behavioral nightmare. not being mean or exaggerating.

how could you tell?

let's see. he is and was the "talk" of the class. melted down and left almost weekly. I had no idea who he was until last night. even the teacher used to try to appease him to no avail.

np: *shrug* some dcs that age just don't do well in organized classes like that
